[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the purpose of the Taylor island?[/quote]
There is no taylor island.  They are keeping kids at taylor still at taylor.

Eastern Lyon village didn’t want to go to key unless all of Lyon village went to key (or at least all of the parts of Lyon village that are currently at asfs).  So they moved 24130 back to asfs, and similarly they moved the two units north of lee highway that got moved to taylor In the original proposal back to asfs.  
Since they were told to better balance enrollment and they could not come up with another way of filling taylor (It was at 80% in the original proposal), they left most of the kids that would have gotten moved out of taylor at taylor.

Asfs has an island in option b, but who cares.  It’s only an island because of an unpopulated block (the one with giant) is attached to a Virginia square planning unit instead of 24110.  Move the block (which is giant— no kids on that block) to its own planning unit and zone it to asfs.  Presto.  No island.[/quote]

Wait, how can the Lyon Village families have such strong say into where they end up when it makes the boundaries so complicated and disjointed?[/quote]

For what its worth, both these maps have kids whose houses literally touch the ASFS property being bused to Taylor.  That's also true now, but isn't the point of these adjustments to fix problems like that.  My kids are way passed elementary school now, but I would be pretty mad if that doesn't get fixed.[/quote]
